A: Four-winged Pantheos standing to front, feet, to right, are in the shape of jackal's heads. Four animal-protomes project from the sides of the head, which is topped by an atef-crown; a bird’s tail projects from the hips to the left of the body. The deity has two pairs of wings and arms: the upper arms – in line with the top of the upper wings and almost at the height of the neck – are stretched to the sides and hold two short crossed scepters. The lower arms: right hand lowered beside the body, left hand bent in elbow and holding a flail.
B: Plain.
